CARY, N.C. – The No. 2-ranked Indiana men's soccer team (11-1-2) defeated No. 6 Seton Hall (10-2-4) by a score of 2-0 in the 2020 NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals at WakeMed Field on Monday evening.

KEY MOMENTS
• Sophomore Maouloune Goumballe broke into the box in the 24th minute but his cut-back pass couldn't find any IU attackers.
• Sophomore forward Victor Bezerra took a clever pass from redshirt sophomore Ryan Wittenbrink onto his right foot and earned a free kick after being brought down right outside the box in the 28th minute.
• Wittenbrink tried to pick out Goumballe in the box but he couldn't get his head to the cross in the middle of the first half.
• With the clock stopped in the 42nd minute, there was a lengthy (40 minutes) weather delay due to lightning and rain.
• Right after the delay, Wittenbrink tallied his first goal of the NCAA Tournament with a right-footed finish into the bottom corner of the net to give IU a 1-0 lead in the 44th minute.
• Sophomore goalie Roman Celentano was tested for the first time in the second half in the 53rd minute but he was calm to make the save on his line.
• IU took a 2-0 lead in the 58th minute when Goumballe played a ball across the front of goal for senior forward Thomas Warr to tap into the back of the net.
• IU held off a flurry of Seton Hall chances over the final 30 minutes to preserve the victory and the clean sheet.

NOTABLES
• IU has now made the College Cup for the fourth time under head coach Todd Yeagley and the third time in the past four years. Overall, IU has made 21 College Cups in the program's history.
• Monday evening's victory means IU leads the series record 3-0-0 all-time against Seton Hall.
